Seaside Rescue

In Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight, conditions are no easier for the lifeboat crew who find themselves operating in stormy waters. While in the Cornish town of Perranporth, the weather presents a different set of problems for the lifeguards.

An elderly woman falls awkwardly on the Isle of Wight, but there's no way of getting her out except by air. In Perranporth, one girl has taken her mother's warning not to talk to strangers very literally, which makes it doubly hard for the lifeguards to reunite her with her mom, and more children are in trouble at sea, but there aren't enough lifejackets to go around.

The RNLI and Coastguard helicopter respond to an incident at a Dorset beauty spot. A cruise boat in Falmouth, Cornwall, offers its passengers an excursion they weren't expecting.

A young man is taken by surprise by the surf at Perranporth in Cornwall. In the Solent, Whisky Bravo responds to a tanker anchored in heavy seas when a crewman is badly injured. While off the Isle of Wight, a ferry is circling a stricken yacht to protect it until the lifeboat can find them.

What starts as a gentle walk along the beach to lay some flowers for a friend turns into a full Coastguard and RNLI rescue for one woman in Beachy Head. In Cornwall unusual weather conditions expose a hundred year old shipwreck, creating dangerous conditions for lifeguards and swimmers alike. And on the Isle of Wight it's not a shipwreck that is posing problems, but a sandbank.

A summer's drink lands two men in trouble: one calls the Falmouth Lifeboat when he can't find his way home; the other requires a full-scale helicopter rescue from an inaccessible chalk pit. A game of beach cricket has unexpected consequences for a boy and his mom.

The waters around the Isle of Wight are world-famous for yacht racing, but one crew's race is cut short by a life-threatening injury. In Perranporth, the lifeguards face an enormous challenge - rip tides are pulling dozens of swimmers out to sea.

The Lifeboat responds to the aid of two tired Swedish crewmen who lost engine power in a busy shipping lane off the Cornish coast. In the middle of the night, helicopter Whisky Bravo assists a senior man fallen ill on a ferry bound for France.

In the cold waters of the Solent, a brand new racing yacht is sinking, putting the lives of fourteen sailors at risk. Whiskey Bravo needs to get to them fast, but first, they have to find them. In Falmouth, a family fishing boat is in trouble as an underwater object threatens their livelihood, and the RNLI sends two boats to assist.

A boy is having a fit in Perranporth, and there is no sign of his parents. A walker is hurt by a fall on the Isle of Wight, and the safest way to get him to a hospital is by air.
